FBD for Newton's Law of Motion Problem

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a physics problem involving two connected blocks experiencing a force and friction. The user is trying to determine the tension in the string connecting the blocks, starting with a free body diagram (FBD). There is a request for guidance on whether the FBD is correct, and a suggestion to incorporate equations into the analysis. The user expresses a preference for using FBDs before moving to equations, indicating a desire for step-by-step assistance. The conversation emphasizes the importance of both visual representation and mathematical formulation in solving the problem.

Homework Statement


In the figure, block 1 of mass m1 = 1.8 kg and block 2 of mass m2 = 1.4 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass. Block 2 is pushed by force Upper F Overscript right-arrow EndScripts of magnitude 18 N and angle θ = 34°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the horizontal surface is 0.16. What is the tension in the string?

This is my FBD(Is this right?)

I want to do it step by step..
my first thoughts it will be
T1-f=0 -> T1=f (block m1) but I don't know if this right can someone guide me to this question

Thank you and God bless!

Why don't you start with the equations. I prefer doing physics with actual math.
 
So far so good...sine and cosine for the right!

Okayyy but I got used to using FBD then proceed to do equations. But my problem is I don't know if my FBD is right
 

Thread 'Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force'

Beams of electrons and protons move parallel to each other in the same direction. They ______. a. attract each other. b. repel each other. c. neither attract nor repel. d. the force of attraction or repulsion depends upon the speed of the beams. This is a previous-year-question of CBSE Board 2023. The answer key marks (b) as the right option. I want to know why we are ignoring Coulomb's force?

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...

Thread 'Speed of moth related to Doppler Effect'

I treat this question as two cases of Doppler effect. (1) When the sound wave travels from bat to moth Speed of sound = 222 x 1.5 = 333 m/s Frequency received by moth: $$f_1=\frac{333+v}{333}\times 222$$ (2) When the sound wave is reflected from moth back to bat Frequency received by bat (moth as source and bat as observer): $$f_2=\frac{333}{333-v}\times f_1$$ $$230.3=\frac{333}{333-v}\times \frac{333+v}{333}\times 222$$ Solving this equation, I get ##v=6.1## m/s but the answer key is...
